Hawaii Electric Light Co. will be inspecting its major overhead lines using helicopters through Friday, October 5.
HELCO says they use the helicopters to inspect the lines as efficiently as possible in an attempt to locate any problems that may lead to later serious power interruptions. HELCO is using Manuiwa Airways, Inc. helicopters. The copters will fly fairly low and slow in the sky in order to see the lines and HELCO warns there will be some noise disturbances.
The inspections are scheduled between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. through Friday, October 5, all around the island.
